A few days ago I did about 160 words then couldn’t get the next paragraph going. It kept petering out, or wandering off the point. I tried half a dozen times but eventually gave up.
It’s time to grasp myself firmly by the scruff of the metaphorical neck and give myself a good talking to. That sort of nonsense leads to writer’s block, and, as we all know that’s a non-existent condition, it cannot be allowed to take root.
It’s bad enough that I turned out to be a poet rather than a writer of lucrative thrillers, so I really can’t give in to imaginary conditions as well. If I have to be a poet I will at least try to be an industrious one.
Rear View Mirror Shot 1
Rear View Mirror Shot 2
Tonight, the sky was pink and cloudy when we left the shop so I unloaded my camera from my bag and took a couple of shots. The camera filtered most of the colour from the sky and as soon as I tried to take photos people appeared and got in my way. This was to be a theme of my picture taking for the rest of the evening. I tried with the sunset filter on, but that takes so long that everything was blurred. I missed some great moon shots to. Eventually I tried some sunset shots of teasel as the neighbours all decided to move their cars and shine lights everywhere.

The accompanying photos are a selection I took on the way home, including light pollution from cars, “abstract” shots and shots taken in my door mirror (whilst stopped in traffic, not whilst moving).
These remind me of certain fabric patterns that I see lately–abstract is the way to go sometimes!
🙂 Thank you.
I like the mirror shots, too.
🙂 Thank you Derrick.
I really, really like the rearview mirror shots. Yes, keep writing. Even a few paragraphs would be just fine. And more pictures!
Yes, I must get back into the swing of things. I am starting o think about learning to use my new camera . . .
You have a good eye!
:-)Thank you.
I like your abstract photography very much. What it is to be thwarted not just by neighbours and other members of the public but by your camera as well!
I can see an exhibition in a prestigious art gallery coming on. The trick will be to find a suitably pretentious title to give deep meaning to these shots.
Pretentious? Moi?
Mais oui.
🙂
I like the side view mirror shots.
Keep writing, Quercus!
Thank you. I will.
